Java – why shouldn’t we use the (default) SRC package?

I recently started using the eclipse IDE and have read in many places that I shouldn't use the default (SRC) package and create a new package

Solution

Using the default package may create namespace conflicts Imagine that you are creating a library that contains the MyClass class Someone uses your library in his project and has a MyClass class in his default package What should the compiler do? A package in Java is actually a namespace that fully identifies your project Therefore, it is important not to use default packages in real - world projects
